Well, I'd go with N8 because I'm in love with its camera. But the true winner is without a doubt the N9 since it features a much more powerful CPU (1 GHz vs 680 MHz) and an absolutely better OS (Meego vs Symbian). It also packs a bigger screen so the only thing that N8 can hold against it is the camera. Which is a minor point because N9 packs an 8MP Carl Zeiss lens which is enough for a smartphone.
